Key Search Engine Optimization Functions

Alt Tags
Every image used on your QuickOrder Website has an ALT tag automatically created from the image or product name. Search engines use ALT tags for many types of searches.
Alt tags can be seen if you hover over an image on QOP with your mouse.
When you add images into the body text field of any page, you can add your own alt tags to them in the upload/insert image field.
For Example:

Logical URLs
The URL used by your website also influences search engine ranking and unlike many other database websites, QuickOrder creates logical URLs based on product and category names. This makes it easier for search engines to find specific pages or products.

Web Page Keywords and Metatags
To help your website improve its ranking for specific product categories, add keywords to the database for each category. These will be used by the search engines to find a specific product category
For Example:

Category Titles
To allow your category page title to be different from your actual category title (useful if you require a long page title but do not want to show a long title in a navigation bar or category tabs), add a seperate title for each category in the edit section for your categories.
